Synopsis
“Mother’s Day” is the
latest star studded ensemble comedy from director Garry Marshall (“Pretty
Woman”, “Valentine’s Day”). Bringing together Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson,
and Julia Roberts along with Jason Sudeikis, it’s a celebration of mothers
everywhere. This big-hearted comedy invites us all to enjoy the laughter, tears
and love as three generations come together in the week leading up to Mother’s Day.
Follows the lives of different mothers on Mother’s Day. Sandy
is happily divorced, until she finds out her ex-husband eloped with a much
younger woman. Now she must learn to deal with big changes in her life as her
two boys now have a step-mom. Sisters Jesse and Gabi get an unexpected surprise
from their mother, who is not happy to find out Gabi is a lesbian and Jesse is
married to a man of color. Miranda doesn't have any kids and is focusing on her
career. Kristin is enjoying life as a new mother but is feeling pressure from
her boyfriend to get married. Bradley is trying hard to be the best parent for
his two girls since their mom passed away last year; however his idea of Mother’s
Day is pretending it doesn't exist at all.
Several women come to terms with their relationships with
their mothers as Mother's Day draws near. Sandy is a divorced mother of two
boys whose ex-husband has remarried a younger woman named Tina. Miranda, an
accomplished writer, gave up her only child, Kristin, for adoption at birth.
Now a grown-up Kristin is encouraged by her friend, Jesse, to find her birth
mother. Jesse is meanwhile surprised by her parents when they suddenly come to
visit.
This movie was good. Had its funny parts and sad parts but it was a good movie to see with your mom or girlfriends?
ReplyDeleteI thought this movie was good. It had me laughing throughout the movie. I even got the pretty woman joke towards the end. I was very happy how it turned out.
The movie is pristine, funny and delightful, showing a group of seemingly unconnected people coming to terms with their mothers.
ReplyDeleteThe film does not have any intense action scenes, or complicated emotions as the simplicity, sweet and light-hearted plot of it is what makes it a good film.
It is featuring a line-up of powerful cast including Julia Roberts, Jennifer Anniston, Kate Hudson and Jason Sudeikis with each of the character does good justice to their respective roles.
I personally liked the movie. The lifestyle that is shown is just cute. If you watch in US the movie can help to recall lifestyle millions of Americans were enjoying before last market collapse, and achieve it together again. This movie was just like few of last fiction books I've red. That could be like a food for positivity in case of lost relationships or simply if you want to get over something girlfriend, boyfriend, job or period of your life such as if you been living in another city. All actresses are hot, especially Julia Roberts wears weird haircut close to one from pretty woman movie.
ReplyDeleteMother's Day might be trying to show how diverse and progressive it is in representing every kind of family, but it's a laugh track away from Three's Company levels of subterfuge.
ReplyDeleteIt's fine that the makeshift trilogy is a simple-minded ode to love meant to send everyone home happy. So why doesn't it actually send anyone home happy?
I would say Mother's Day is a half-half proposition, such as cooking dinner for your mum but making her does the dishes. A hodgepodge of irrelevant and nonsensical story-lines with absurd dialogues, Mother's Day lands somewhere between a mean joke and a cinematic.
ReplyDeleteI would also say it is relatable and funny, this movie is great for the whole family. Anyway, I really enjoyed spending Mother's Day watching this well-crafted movie.
Despite being very predictable, you'll be hard-pressed not to find at least a few likeable characters in this ensemble cast. It's also short enough of a film that it does not overstay its welcome.
ReplyDeleteThe film’s script is designed to constantly flatter the sensibilities of its target audience, which is a nice enough goal, but it never seems to reflect the way that people actually speak, think, or behave.
ReplyDeleteThe cinematic equivalent of a paper plate with macaroni and glitter haphazardly glued onto it, Mother’s Day is a film only its creators could love and even they must be having some misgivings.
